Finally got a decent shock, waiting for powdercoating to return (have frame back though)so I can start rebuild. Seller of faulty shock not responded yet to return for refund, but covered via PayPal. Looked at getting a new indicator switch gear assembly and they are over £150. Put that on the wish list with everything else. Photos will be posted when there is something to show!

Thought I had most of it but still missing plenty of bolts and fixings. Returned some of the plating, looked bad to be honest. On top of that rats have chewed the brake pipes on my van so that's being recovered on a flatbed truck tomorrow, revenge for shooting one. Started off with the abs light coming on, took to garage and sensor wire cut. Went to take it for repair and no brakes at all, other rear sensor wire chewed and brake fluid squirting out of chewed hose. How lucky am I

Progress has been slow, mainly due to the weather this weekend. But important parts are coming back so I will try and press on (especially if it rains!) Attended vjmc show Sunday then a decent ride with both the red and white dt's, my blue 125mx and an rd350lc. I can still taste the 2 stroke oil being at the back (I was riding the 125mx). Covered approx 70 miles without mishaps, bit I so want a rd350, sounds brilliant.

Refurbed oil pump arrived back this morning, hard to believe it's almost 31 years old, perfect job!
Powdercoated spring collected yesterday as well, so can crack on a bit.

When I asked if the pump could be refurbished I was told it wasn't possible! I think he just didn't want the work!

Hes done all of mine, always come back like new, said there was loads of crud inside this one. Comes back with genuine Yamaha gasket and vent screw seals. Its peace of mind that I will not have to worry about it.

Didn't notice until I put my widows on

@oldman COOL - How much did the side cases cost to have done, if you don't mind me asking???
